genxword 1.0.9

A crossword generator

Description

Genxword is a crossword generator written in Python. It works with Python
2.7 and Python 3.

When you install genxword, you will have two programs,
genxword-gtk,
which has a graphical user interface, and genxword, which runs from the
command line.

Both programs create a crossword from a list of words and
clues. You can save the crossword, with clues, as a pdf file, or you can
save the empty grid and key in png and/or svg format, together with the
word bank and clues in a text file.

Features

The crossword can be saved, with clues, as a pdf file, or the empty
grid and key can be saved in png and/or svg format, together with the
word bank and clues in a text file.

The crossword can be recalculated multiple times - with the option to
increase the grid size at each stage.

A dictionary file can be used as the word list. A certain amount of
words (default 50) will be randomly selected from the file and used
to make the crossword.

When editing the word list, there is an option to sort it, from the
shortest to the longest word, and remove non-alphabetic characters.

Multiple languages, including right-to-left languages, such as Hebrew
and Arabic, are now supported.
